I was surprised to find that the police have already arrested somebody in relation to the body parts under the Pheasants Nest Bridge. Turns out the remains were those of a 33 year old Sydney woman, who was reported missing on August 3rd. As I read through a few news articles I couldn’t help but think this story was all too simple and open close, even for real life. When do we ever hear of someone getting murdered, dismembered and scattered throughout bushland by a possible acquaintance, just because. That was a story that had the potential to be able to horrify this desensitised society of ours.
However the Kara Lawrence from the Daily Telegraph’s more researched article revealed that the reason behind this murder will emerge very soon. As the arrested man is actually her 33 year old husband. Wonder if he did it, wonder why? Guess we’ll have to wait til those answers are all over the news, once they are done scouring through every detail of their marriage and personal lives, sharing their new found information with the rest of Australia, not because we need to know, but because people will watch. Maybe the story will provide some people with comfort knowing there are worse marriages out there then there’s. Maybe I’m in a slightly pessimistic mood today towards society, but is it really right that money from sold newspapers or TV ratings influence’s stories about death.
